Next to Last Productions

Background

This is the vanity card of Shawn Wayans. Shawn was the second to last born to the main four brothers, hence the name "Next to Last".

Logo (January 11, 1995-May 20, 1999)

Visuals: There is a black and white picture of Shawn and Marlon Wayans as youngsters. The latter is looking downward, while the former is looking straight at the camera, smiling. On top of Shawn are the words "Next to Last Productions" and on top of Marlon are the words "BabyWay Productions", and in between those words is "and", all in a thick white font. The words "in association with" appear at the bottom of the picture, in the same font as the company name.

Technique: Live-action image with superimposed text.

Audio: An off-screen voice (Shawn Wayans) says, "Look up, Marlon! Say cheese!" Sometimes, audio from the end of the episode can still be heard.

Audio Variant: On split-screen credits airings of the series on The WB between 1995 and 1998, the network's former mascot Michigan J. Frog (voiced by Jeff McCarthy) sings "This has been a production of...." accompanied by a dreamy piano ditty, with the last part heard on the logo. This happens on every The WB show (The Parent 'Hood, Alright Already, etc.) with Michigan singing throughout the closing logos.

Availability: Seen on The Wayans Bros.
